DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER
The filter forms part of the emissionsreduction system on your vehicle. It filtersharmful diesel particulates (soot) from theexhaust gas.
Regeneration
WARNING
Do not park or idle your vehicle overdry leaves, dry grass or othercombustible materials. Theregeneration process creates very highexhaust gas temperatures and the exhaustwill radiate a considerable amount of heatduring and after regeneration and after youhave switched the engine off. This is apotential fire hazard.
Note:Avoid running out of fuel.
Note:During regeneration at low speed orengine idle, you may smell a hot metallicodor and could notice a clicking metallicsound. This is due to the high temperaturesreached during regeneration and is normal.

ActionCause
Clean the grille surface in front of the radaror remove the object causing the obstruc-tion.
The surface of the radar in the grille is dirtyor obstructed in some way.
Wait a short time. It may take severalminutes for the radar to detect that it is freefrom obstruction.
The surface of the radar in the grille is cleanbut the message remains in the display.
Do not use the system in these conditionsbecause it may not detect any vehiclesahead.
Heavy rain or snow is interfering with theradar signals.
Do not use the system in these conditionsbecause it may not detect any vehiclesahead.
Swirling water, snow or ice on the surfaceof the road may interfere with the radarsignals.
It is possible to get a blockage warning andnot be blocked. A false blocked conditionself clears or clears after a key cycle.
Switching to Normal CruiseControl
WARNING
Normal cruise control does not brakedue to slower vehicles. Always beaware of which mode you haveselected and apply the brakes whennecessary.
You can manually change from adaptivecruise control to normal cruise controlthrough the information display.
The cruise control indicator lightreplaces the adaptive cruisecontrol indicator light if youselect normal cruise control.

System Lights and Messages
The system displays a yellow warningindicator located in the exterior mirrors.
Note:It will dim when the ambient lightdecreases.
Cross Traffic Alert also sounds a series oftones and a message appears in theinformation display indicating a vehicle iscoming from the right or left. Cross TrafficAlert works with the reverse sensingsystem that sounds its own series of tones.See Parking Aids (page 167).
System Sensors
WARNING
Prior to the system recognizing ablocked condition and issuing awarning, the number of missedobjects will increase.
Note:It is possible to get a blockagewarning with no blockage present; this israre and known as a false blockage warning.A false blocked condition eitherself-corrects or clears after a key cycle.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The system uses radar sensors which arelocated behind the bumper fascia on eachside of your vehicle. Do not allow mud,snow or bumper stickers to obstruct theseareas, this can cause degraded systemperformance.
If the system detects a degradedperformance condition, a message warningof a blocked sensor or low visibility willappear in the information display alongwith a warning indicator. You can clear theinformation display warning but thewarning indicator will remain illuminated.
When you remove a blockage, you canreset the system in two ways:
•While driving, the system detects atleast two objects.
•You cycle the ignition from on to offand then back on.
If the blockage is still present after the keycycle and driving in traffic, check again fora blockage.
Reasons for messages being displayed
Clean the fascia area in frontof the radar or remove theobstruction.
The radarsurface isdirty orobstructed
Drive normally in traffic fora few minutes to allow theradar to detect passingvehicles so it can clear theblocked state.
The radarsurface isnot dirty orobstructed
No action required. Thesystem automatically resetsto an unblocked state oncethe rainfall or snowfall ratedecreases or stops. Do notuse the Blind Spot Informa-tion System or Cross TrafficAlert in these conditions.
Heavy rain-fall orsnowfallinterfereswith theradarsignals
Detection Limitations
There may be instances where the systemwill not always detect vehicles enteringand exiting the blind spot zone.
Instances which may cause non-detection:
•Debris build up on the rear bumperpanels in the area of the sensors.
•Certain maneuvering of vehiclesentering and exiting the blind spotzone.
•Vehicles passing through the blind spotzone at high speed.
•Severe weather conditions.
•Several vehicles passing through theblind spot zone following each otherclosely.

•Adjacently parked vehicles or objectsobstructing the sensors.
•Approaching vehicles passing atspeeds greater than 15 mph (24 km/h).
•Driving in reverse faster than 5 mph(8 km/h).
•Backing out of an angled parking spot.
False Alerts
Note:If your vehicle has a trailer towmodule approved by us, the system willdetect a connected trailer and turn off. Fornon-factory equipped tow bars, you maywant to turn the Blind Spot InformationSystem off manually.
There may be certain instances when thereis a false alert by either the Blind SpotInformation or the Cross Traffic Alertsystems that illuminates the alert indicatorwith no vehicle in the coverage zone. Someamount of false alerts are normal; they aretemporary and self-correct.
Detection Errors
If either system senses a problem with theleft or right sensor, the Blind SpotInformation System warning indicator willilluminate and a message will appear inthe information display.
All other system faults will display onlywith a message in the information display.See Information Messages (page 96).
Switching the Systems Off and On
You can temporarily switch off one or bothsystems in the information display. SeeInformation Messages (page 96). Whenyou switch off the Blind Spot InformationSystem, you will not receive alerts and theinformation display will display a systemoff message.
Note:The Cross Traffic Alert system alwaysswitches on whenever the ignition isswitched on. However, the Blind SpotInformation System will remember the lastselected on or off setting.
One or both systems cannot be switchedoff when MyKey is used. See Principle ofOperation (page 38).
You can also have one or both systemsswitched off permanently at an authorizeddealer. Once switched off, the system canonly be switched back on at an authorizeddealer.
